an embarrassing turn after weeks of threats by some senior administration officials, including Susan E. Rice, the national security adviser, that a complete American withdrawal from Afghanistan — the so-called zero option — would be considered if Mr. Karzai did not sign the deal by the year’s end.
Mr. Karzai reiterated that a formal peace process with the Taliban must begin before he signs, and that the United States commit itself to Afghanistan’s peace and security.
He would sign, he said, “as soon as they are ready to accept our conditions, because we are not in a rush.”

Screw me into the ground sideways if there is ANY reason to stay with these parasitic Afganis dithering around for "better terms"
here's the deal -sign it. Oh you won't? well then,,,get the **** out of Dodge City yesterday..last train out of Kabul (etc)
WHY ARE WE STAYING ON A BUNCH OF BLACKMAILERS TERMS???? Haven't we given enough blood and treasure to that pile of rocks???
What's it going to take folks to finally understand we are not wanted, there isn't any way out of this but just LEAVE..
Karzai just opened the door, and we're like...."uh.. well maybe we'll stay where we're not wanted"...
